Akarenga souko (red-brick warehouse) | Yokohama

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Located at the port of Yokohama, commonly known as Akerenga souko (red brick warehouse), the two buildings (warehouse no. 1 and no.2) are operated by Yokohama Akarenga Co. Ltd. It has been operating in its current state since April 12, 2002, when restoration work was completed.

The No. 1 building is used mostly as a cultural facility, and is used for events such as film festivals, musicals and also includes a number of galleries.

The buildings look spectacular at night when lit up and make a great spot to walk around and relax. The shops are extremely well kept and contain a wide variety of food, souvenirs and interesting trinkets.
